Patent BR-9916821-A (BR)
Title: Ligantes de receptor nuclear
Inventor: TAMURA GAKUZO
IPC: C07C403/24
Filed: 1999-12-14
Abstract: "LIGANTES DE RECEPTOR NUCLEAR". Recentemente, descobriu-se que a ascoclorina, a qual é um antibiótico solúvel em gordura publicamente conhecido e seus homólogos, servem como um ligante do receptor X de retinóides e reage In vivo com o grupo amino da proteína do soro a fim de formar bases de Schiff sem mostrar qualquer efeito colateral do retinóide. A ascoclorina e seus homólogos são utilizáveis no tratamento e/ou prevenção de uma doença ou condição a qual pode ser aliviada pela regulação transcricional de um gene dependente do ligante do receptor X de retinóide (por exemplo, doenças causadas pela expressão de resistência à insulina, hipertensão, doenças cérebrovasculares, artrite reumatóide, doença auto-imune, distúrbio metabólico de Ca, complicação de diabetes, arterosclerose, etc.). Além disso, eles podem inibir a desnaturação e/ou necrose das células <225> da ilhota pancreática de Langerhans e, portanto, são utilizáveis para fazer com que essas células sustentem a produtividade de insulina.

Title: Telecommunications network
Inventor: MEE JEROME
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: A network management system 1, for example for use in a telecommunications network 7, comprises a performance measurement tool 3 for carrying out a plurality of performance measurements 5 relating to physical or logical components of the network 7. A performance management controller 9 comprises a control unit 19, a list of performance measurement groups 13, a list of logical/physical components 15 and a list of predefined time schedules 17. Upon receiving information 11 indicating that a performance measurement threshold has been crossed, the control unit 19 determines whether the group of performance measurements associated with that threshold is active, and if not, automatically activates 21 the appropriate performance measurement group. In this way, the system is able to adaptively change the performance measurements in response to actual performance measurements, thereby ensuring that the most appropriate measurements are carried out. The automatic deactivation 23 of performance measurements means that no wasteful measurements are carried out.
